    I take it that a "brush lot" is the same as a town tree dump? If that's the case, I'm sorry for your loss, sir! :(

    The state didn't like ours, either. Different state, but a sad predicament regardless. Mostly willow to be found in ours, but I did score a truck full of black Locust once. No more, thank you Massachusetts for one again sticking your dirty nose in where it doesn't belong.

    Another reason the city is considering closing them is that they aren’t being used as intended, Lehfeldt said. The sites, he continued, were designed for homeowners to come and drop off some brush and take some mulch in return. But instead, people from out of the city and commercial workers are using the site and bringing in things like oversized tree stumps that can’t be processed by city equipment.

    My town has a brush pile, only open the last week of the month, and it's them picked up by a tree company. It's right next to the exit of the transfer station, so I always look hard at it. Never once seen anything but actual brush in it in the past year.

    Help them and yourself out by bringing a 80+cc noodle master with a big bar on it. That will solve the issue.

    I'd be up a creek if the city closed out tree/brush lot

    We don't have one. I'd be elated if we had one.
